I guess it would make sense for one of the moderators to do it, unless
someone has a better idea. Note that none of us is strictly an "admin",
we just moderate posts when required and have some control over user
access and other aspects of Mailman configuration. I'll consult with
the other two guys to see what they think.

I'd say "evolution-users" would make sense, on the assumption that we
don't expect the archives to be merged.
